Abstract

This article presents the High Pressure Consolidation System (HPСS) and a new experimental method for studying sand behavior in weak sandstone reservoirs. Under laboratory conditions, geostress conditions during the process of rock sedimentation, perforation, and sand production were replicated using a large artificial sample. A comprehensive investigation of sand production phenomena was conducted, where rock and pore pressures were fully controlled throughout the experiment using a computer. The HPCS also allows the study of single-phase and multiphase flow behavior in porous media at realistic reservoir pressures to model various well exploitation scenarios, such as implementing different depletion factors and water-oil ratios.
